    Form Mail from Interactive Designer

    I'm working on a site now that may require a form mail function.  I have a form mailer CGI script that I use, and normally I'd just create a form in a Quark web layout.  However, this form will have quite a few fields...too many to put on one page and still look good in my opinion.  So I figure Interactive Designer is the way to go since there's more freedom as far as what's shown and what's hidden at a given time.

    From a Quark SWF, is there a way to send the text from an editable text box to a CGI script like you can do from a simple web layout?  I see there are functions for posting text and posting the contents of a page to a URL, but it doesn't seem to work the same way.  Any tips?

    Or, maybe I can skip the CGI altogether.  Is there a way to send editable text directly to an email address?

    Hi, Viji,

    you can use either method. Send to a URL via GET or POST and have a script analyze the post. Or construct a mail message and send via default mail client (on local machine) by using the mailto: URL structure.
